UPenn Climate Prof Quickly Backtracks After Seeming to Call for Armed Uprising Against Trump

Just two days ago, two Israeli Embassy staffers were murdered as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, in what has been described as an antisemitic attack.

The alleged killer of Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky, who reportedly were "just days away" from becoming engaged, has been identified as Chicago native and Party for Socialism and Liberation member Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly yelled "free, free Palestine!" as he was being handcuffed, detained and led away by police officers.

The incendiary words Rodriguez was said to have used both that night and in his alleged manifesto is disturbingly similar to the chants and slogans that are routinely used in the pro-Hamas student occupations at higher education institutions like Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) that started after the October 7, 2023 Hamas terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.

Strangely, for the "words are violence" crowd, they either fail to see - or maybe they do see - how messages like "long live the intifada!" can translate into the horrific slayings of two innocent young people who, as it turns out, were attending an event that was about "bringing together young professionals, both Jewish and non-Jewish, to talk about bridge-building in the Middle East and North Africa region" prior to being gunned down in cold blood.

Not even 24 hours later, UPenn Professor Michael Mann, who is listed as the "Director of Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media," would find himself in the spotlight after seeming to call for an armed uprising against President Donald Trump in a message posted on liberal social media echo chamber Bluesky:

The message was posted May 22 at around 1:30 pm, a little over 12 hours after Milgram's and Lischinsky's lives were ended too soon by a deranged gunman who looks to have been radicalized by similarly inflammatory rhetoric throughout his time as a left-wing agitator/extremist, the type of rhetoric that is not uncommon on Blueksy:

After accused murderer Luigi Mangione allegedly assassinated UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December, praise for Mangione has been a routine occurrence on sites like Bluesky, with fan accounts cropping up and fangirl "I'm in love with a criminal" memes posted regularly.

Perhaps with the understanding in mind that maybe he had stepped over the line, especially considering it hasn't even been a year since the first assassination attempt on Trump, Mann posted a follow-up message where he tried to weasel out of what he said by playing word games:

Right. And I'm  Hillary Clinton.

In a letter sent to a reporter in November 2024, the second man who allegedly attempted to take Trump's life, Ryan Routh, used rhetoric that was nearly identical to that used by Democrats including then-Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris, who referred to Trump as a wannabe "dictator" and "threat to democracy."

Democrats, like the "Squad," for example, have been fond of lecturing Republicans over the years about how they are supposedly putting them "at risk" over the apparent crime of criticizing their words and actions. And yet not only do Democrats turn a blind eye when far worse remarks are made by their allies about Republicans, some of them endorse it, either by refusing to condemn it or by pretending it's all part of "peaceful protesting."

Democrats don't just have a violence problem in their party; they have a "calls for violence" problem - and it's getting worse.  They and their mainstream media accomplices can deny it all day long, but at the end of the day, it doesn't make the statement untrue.
